How far along has the engine development for the SS1 come? Has Scaled chosen yet which engine they like best? I hope the engine(s) still need a lot of testing and tweaking to give the other teams more time to finish their projects and beat Scaled Composites to the finish line.

No, not with the committee. But considering the Xprize's grandiose Cup plans, you'd expect quick publicity as soon as any team offically notifies of the attempt. While I can accept the need for each of the teams to work in secret, the Xprize committee would be undermining its own efforts to keep such information secret. For the long-term impact of the x-prize, it would be important to obtain maxiumum publicity for any attempt--to include the month-long lead-up to any such attempt.

If Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites work as they have on previous projects, such as Voyager, development was private, flights were very public. Once Rutan has 100% confidence in the design, we will all know about the flight plans.
